Can we talk about my potato bargain that almost went bad?
I grabbed a 20-pound bag of potatoes on sale for just a few bucks. (I know, right?) But then they all started sprouting at once, and I thought I'd wasted my money. I had to get creative fast to use them up before they went bad. So I made a giant pot of potato soup, then oven fries, and even breakfast hash with leftover veggies. Turns out, we ate for almost a whole week on just those potatoes and some pantry staples. That was a big win for my grocery budget, and the kids didn't even complain.
